“From now on, you’re calling me Julian,” he said imperiously.
“But I think Mr. Gilmore sounds good, too.’”
“No. You’re calling me Julian.”
Proudly, Jessie nodded. “Okay, Julian.”
Julian patted her head. “Good. From now on, you’re calling me that.”
Oh, he can be so bossy about everything when he wants. She nodded in acknowledgment. Then, she scooped up some seawater. “Wow, it’s not cold at all. It feels warm.”
“Do you want to swim?”
She blinked. “Can I?”
“As long as you want it.” Julian nodded.
She was in a short dress, and they had no swimsuits lying around. Awkwardly, she said, “I’ll do it later.” She returned to the beach and had all the fun she wanted. She frolicked around and kept kicking the waters. Eventually, she lost her footing and fell. Right away, she backed away and plopped onto the sand. Well, this is super awkward. “Oh, no! I got sand all over me.”
“Wash yourself in the waters, then,” Julian suggested. Something twinkled in his eyes, and he gulped slightly. He thought she looked alluring when she was drenched.
Jessie took that advice and slowly stepped into the sea. She stopped when the seawater got to her waist level. Then, she let it wash the sand on her body away. When she came back up, her dress was already sticking to her, accentuating her legs. “We should go back now.” I need to get changed.
She’s not wearing any shoes. Julian made a mental note to himself before crouching down. “Get up. I’ll take you back on my back.”
She held her heels and let him take her back to the villa.
It was a peaceful stroll. The sun was shining; the birds were chirping. Jessie was leaning on Julian’s back, feeling safe. They ran into a few waitresses and were recognized immediately. “Oh my gosh!” The waitress gasped. “It’s them!” “They look so good together.” “He’s taking her on his back. I envy her.”
Jessie thought it was a bit daunting for Julian since he had to take her back to the villas. They were a few hundred yards away. However, instead of taking her back to her villa, Julian took her to his.
She asked Lexie to get her a set of clothes. She was staying in the same villa as her parents, and she didn’t want them to see the state she was in right now. That’s why she asked for Lexie’s help. “I’ll use your bathroom for a bit, Julian.” She took her clothes and headed for the bathroom.
“Sure,” he replied in acknowledgment. She wondered why he wasn’t looking at her. Why is he looking away? In all honesty, he wanted to look at her. However, she would notice the desire in his eyes if he did.
Jessie entered the master bedroom. Julian realized his phone was dead, so he went upstairs to get the charger, and it was then he heard Jessie showering in the bathroom. A current of electricity coursed through his body, and he took a seat on the couch, waiting for her. Then, he noticed something interesting. She forgot to take her clothes. Oh, does that mean I get to see something nice, then?
She only realized she had forgotten her clothes after she was done showering. Oh, god. But thank goodness that Julian’s downstairs. He’s not here, so there’s nothing to worry about. She covered herself with a towel and darted out of the bathroom. The moment she turned the corner, she saw Julian on the couch, and her clothes were right beside him. She exclaimed in her mind, Holy moly! I thought he was downstairs. Why is he here? “I-I need to take my clothes.” She held her towel tightly, worried it might slip.
He stared right at her, enjoying the beautiful sight in front of him.
He picked her clothes up and handed them to her. Thinking he was just being nice, she happily took the clothes, but then he suddenly held her hand and pulled her into his embrace. She caught a whiff of his scent and felt everything around her spin a little. Didn’t know he could be so cheeky. “Julian—” she started, though she never got to finish that sentence.
He held the back of her head and pressed his lips against hers. She’s so charming. I’d love to gobble her up right now. This is killing me.
Jessie was holding her towel with both hands, which made things easier for him. She can’t even push me now.
Julian didn’t push her any further, though. Once he had enough, he picked up his phone and charger. “I’ll be waiting downstairs.”
Even at night, the island glimmered and shimmered beautifully. The lighthouse and neon lights glowed the landmass up. The wedding dinner was a merry event as well. Everyone gathered and feasted with their friends. Some drank with their friends on the field outside.
The guests who had families stayed with their families, while the younger people took this chance to date a little.
Nigel and Queenie were talking to the elders while Jessie had run off. She wasn’t someone who could sit still. Naturally, she went straight to the place of her lover. He was waiting for her at the corner where it was dimly lit.
She trotted over to him like a little fairy who couldn’t wait to date her lover. Her hair billowed in the air, her dress dancing with the breeze. Eventually, they met, and she tilted her head. Adorably, she asked,
“Guess what I got you?”
“What is it?” Julian narrowed his eyes. “Aww, just take a guess.” “Fine. Candies?” he said. Jessie’s nose scrunched up. “How did you get that right on the first try?” She thumped his chest lightly.
He burst into laughter. That was just a random guess. He never expected to hit the mark, but he did. He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her cheek. “Alright, I’m sorry. Shouldn’t have guessed it.”
He’s so sweet. She loved that he was apologizing for something this trivial—it meant he cared about her feelings. He pushed her head closer to his chest, and she leaned into his embrace, enjoying the scent of flowers brought in by the gentle breeze.
“So, this is what bliss feels like.” Jessie sighed. We can see the Milky Way from here, and there’s the moon up there. It feels like I’m in a painting. Bliss, at least to Julian, was to have whatever he loved. He caressed her hair softly. “Yeah. And I’m feeling blessed to have you beside me, too.”
Right then, someone on the boat out on the ocean started the fireworks. A delighted Jessie hugged him tightly. “The fireworks are starting.”
He happily wrapped his arm around her and watched the fireworks show with her. It went on for half an hour, and most of the fireworks would create different shapes and patterns after they went off. Eventually, they got tired from standing up for too long, so Julian took her to an open-air coffee shop to continue watching. He could watch the fireworks, have a cup of coffee, and date the woman he loved. A candle burned before them, and roses surrounded the table. What bliss.
On the other side of the field, Willow was riding on her father’s back, watching the fireworks happily. She would start to gurgle from time to time. Anastasia, on the other hand, leaned on her son. He’s grown so tall. I’m so proud of him.
The newlyweds were also enjoying the fireworks. Queenie rested her head on Nigel’s shoulder. We’re married now. He’s the one I’m spending my whole life with.
Eventually, the fireworks came to an end, but everyone wanted more. Yet, that was not to be. It was getting late, and the older guests needed their rest. The young ones, however, could stay up and have more fun.
Jessie wondered where Julian was taking her. Eventually, they came to the port, and a yacht was waiting on the sea. She froze for a few moments. Oh, right. He did say we were going out to the sea.
They got onto the yacht and sped toward the moon hanging over the horizon. Eventually, they came to a stop in the middle of the ocean. The couple had some wine and enjoyed the view of the sea. Just the sight of it carried all their worries away, washing them into the depths of the ocean. Julian held Jessie in his embrace. “Do you like this?”
She nodded in approval. “I love it.”
He kissed her ear, and it triggered something in her. She turned around and held his face before leaning in and kissing him. It was a deep, passionate, and beautiful kiss. Even the air had turned hot and heavy from the intensity of their kiss. However, they pressed on. It wasn’t until Jessie felt herself perspiring did she let Julian go.
Julian was sweating as well, but he couldn’t help but tease, “What’s wrong? You’re sweating.”
“It’s hot.” She fanned herself with her hand. “Don’t you feel anything?”
He felt it, alright. Everything inside him was screaming and begging him to give them some release. “We should have some water.” He entered the cabin and got her a glass of warm water while he gulped down a bottle of cold water.
Wow, he’s gulping it down. As she was worried, she said, “Slow down. You’re going to catch a cold at this rate.”
He choked on himself and coughed. Awkwardly, he asked, “How did you know I was down with a cold last time because I drank too much cold stuff?”
“That’s not the only reason. You took an ice-cold shower, too, didn’t you?” Jessie smirked. “I’m not a kid, you know. I’m an adult now. I know a lot of stuff.”
Julian kept quiet for a few moments before he broke into a smile. “So, you know everything, I take it?” She cocked her eyebrow. “Of course.”
